Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 500 grams of canned pumpkin
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon powdered nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon powdered cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger
Directions
- Method: This recipe makes one pumpkin bread loaf. If you wish to make more loaves, then adjust the quantities accordingly.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Grease a bread loaf pan using some butter. Brush some flour in the pan. This makes it easy to take the bread out of the pan.
- Break the egg in a deep bowl and use a blender to whisk until fluffy.
- Add the sugar and whisk some more.
- Now take the canned pumpkin, boil it for few minutes and blend it well to make a puree. Strain the puree through a sieve to get rid of any pieces or fiber that might have been left behind. Mix with water.
- Add the puree to the egg and sugar, and blend well.
- Add vegetable oil and blend all the liquids together with the help of a blender on medium speed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the measured flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
- Add this mix, spoon by spoon, to the prepared batter and blend well after each spoon.
- Pour the batter in the greased bread loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Check by inserting a tooth pick in the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, your bread is done.
- Cool and cut in slices to serve
